Driving and Alcohol

Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of collisions.

Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood

alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are

drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking

driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.

WARNING!

Driving after drinking can lead to a collision. Your perceptions

are less sharp, your reﬂexes are slower, and your judgment

is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink and

then drive.

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle.

Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting

in a collision and personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends

that the driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature

that may take their attention o the road.

Use of any electrical devices, such as cellular telephones, computers,

portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices, by the driver

while the vehicle is moving is dangerous and could lead to a serious

collision. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be

done while the vehicle is moving.

If you ﬁnd yourself unable to devote your full attention to vehicle

operation, pull o the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle.

Some states or provinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or

texting while driving. It is always the driver’s responsibility to comply

with all local laws.

This guide has been prepared to help you get quickly

acquainted with your new Jeep



brand vehicle and

to provide a convenient reference for common

questions. However, it is not a substitute for your

Owner’s Manual.

For complete operational instructions, maintenance

procedures and important safety messages, please

consult your Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect

manuals found on the website on the back cover

and other Warning Labels in your vehicle.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Essential Information

Each time direction instructions (left/right or

forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are

given, these must be intended as regarding

an occupant in the driver's seat. Special

cases not complying with this rule will be

properly specified in the text.

The figures in this User Guide are provided by

way of example only: this might imply that

some details of the image do not correspond

to the actual arrangement of your vehicle.

In addition, the User Guide has been con-

ceived considering vehicles with the steering

wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible

that in vehicles with the steering wheel on the

right side, the position or construction of

some controls is not exactly mirror-like with

respect to the figure.

To identify the chapter with the information

needed you can consult the index at the end

of this User Guide.

Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedi-

cated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd

page. A few pages further there is a key for

getting to know the chapter order and the

relevant symbols in the tabs. There is always

a textual indication of the current chapter at

the side of each even page.

Symbols

Some vehicle components have colored la-

bels whose symbols indicate precautions to

be observed when using this component.

Refer to “Warning Lights and Messages” in

“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for

further information on the symbols used in

your vehicle.

ROLLOVER WARNING

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher

rollover rate than other types of vehicles. This

vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a

higher center of gravity than many passenger

vehicles. It is capable of performing better in

a wide variety of off-road applications. Driven

in an unsafe manner, all vehicles can go out

of control. Because of the higher center of

gravity, if this vehicle is out of control it may

roll over while some other vehicles may not.

Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneu-

vers, or other unsafe driving actions that can

cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to oper-

ate this vehicle safely may result in a colli-

sion, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or

fatal injury. Drive carefully.

Failure to use the driver and passenger seat

belts provided is a major cause of severe or

fatal injury. In fact, the U.S. government

notes that the universal use of existing seat

belts could cut the highway death toll by

10,000 or more each year and could reduce

disabling injuries by two million annually. In

Rollover Warning Label

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

a rollover crash, an unbelted person is signifi-

cantly more likely to die than a person wear-

ing a seat belt. Always buckle up.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

While reading this User Guide you will find a

series of WARNINGS to be followed to pre-

vent incorrect use of components which

could cause accidents or injuries.

There are also CAUTIONS that must be fol-

lowed to prevent against procedures that

could result in damage to your vehicle.

VEHICLE CHANGES/

ALTERATIONS

IMPORTANT: Any change or alteration of the

vehicle might seriously affect its safety and

road holding, thus causing accidents, in

which the occupants could even be fatally

injured.

KEYS

Key Fob

The key fob operates the ignition switch.

Insert the square end of the key fob into the

ignition switch located on the instrument

panel and rotate to the desired position. The

key fob also contains an emergency key,

which is stored in the rear of the key fob.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a keyless

ignition system. The ignition system consists

of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

and a START/STOP push button ignition sys-

tem. The Remote Keyless Entry system con-

sists of a key fob and Keyless Enter-N-Go

feature if equipped.

NOTE:

The key fob may not be found if it is located

next to a mobile phone, laptop or other elec-

tronic device; these devices may block the

key fob’s wireless signal.

The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the

doors and liftgate from distances up to ap-

proximately 66 ft (20 m) using a handheld

key fob. The key fob does not need to be

pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.

This feature allows the driver to operate the

ignition switch with the push of a button as

long as the key fob is in the passenger com-

partment.

In case the ignition switch does not change

with the push of a button, the key fob may

have a low or fully depleted battery. A low key

fob battery can be verified by referring to the

instrument cluster, which will display direc-

tions to follow.

In this situation, a back up method can be

used to operate the ignition switch. Put the

nose side (side opposite of the emergency

key) of the key fob against the ENGINE

START/STOP button and push to operate the

ignition switch.

NOTE:

Improper disposal of key fob batteries may be

harmful to the environment. Please see an

authorized dealer for proper battery disposal.

To Unlock The Doors And Liftgate

Push and release the unlock button on the

key fob once to unlock the driver's door or

twice within five seconds to unlock all doors

and the liftgate.

All doors can be programmed to unlock on the

first push of the unlock button. Refer to

“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the

Owner’s Manual for further information.

NOTE:

If the vehicle is unlocked by a key fob, and no

door is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle

will re-lock and if equipped, the security

alarm will arm.

To Lock The Doors And Liftgate

Push and release the lock button on the key

fob to lock all doors and liftgate.

The turn signal lights will flash and the horn

will chirp to acknowledge the signal. Refer to

“Uconnect Settings” located in “Multime-

dia” for further programmable information.

If the vehicle is equipped with Passive Entry,

refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive En-

try” located in “Doors” in “Getting To Know

Your Vehicle” for further information.
